A Small Settings Case Study using TSPi in a Software Project

This article introduces a small setting case study about the benefits of using TSPi in a software project. An adapted process from the current process based on the TSPi was defined. The pilot project had schedule and budget constraints. The process began by gathering historical data from previous projects in order to get a measurement repository. The project was launched with the following goals: increase the productivity, reduce the test time and improve the product quality. Finally, the results were analysed and the goals were verified.

Quality Improvement through Experiments with Mixtures

Mixture experiments are typical for chemical, food, metallurgical and other industries. The aim of these experiments is to find optimal component proportions that provide desired values of some product performance characteristics.
